Several airlines have begun making changes to their schedules in response to the recent violent assault by Iran on Israel.
German airline Lufthansa has announced the suspension of flights to several Middle Eastern destinations including Tel Aviv, Amman, Erbil, Beirut, and Tehran. This decision comes as a result of the escalating violence in the region. Lufthansa is closely evaluating the situation in the Middle East and is in contact with authorities to ensure the safety of its passengers. Flights to and from Tehran have been suspended until at least April 18, and the airline will also avoid flying over Iranian airspace.
Similarly, United Airlines has canceled a scheduled flight to Tel Aviv and is closely monitoring the situation for future flights to Amman. The airline has taken measures to move crews out of the region temporarily until the situation stabilizes and it is safe for them to return.
However, American and Delta airlines have not provided any information regarding their plans for future flights to the Middle East.
The recent assault by Iran on Israel involved over 300 drones and missiles in a full-scale offensive on Saturday. This attack comes after decades of hostilities between the two nations.
As the situation in the Middle East remains volatile and unpredictable, airlines are taking necessary precautions to ensure the safety and security of their passengers and crews. Travelers are advised to stay informed about any changes to flight schedules and to contact their airlines for further information.
